Base image sets the canvas
The first image defines the aspect ratio and exact export dimensions, so the finished file follows your source instead of a generic preset.

Set the base, then build the composition one layer at a time.

Overlay Images Online
Use one image as the base, add more images as independent layers, then move, resize, crop, and reorder them before downloading one finished file.

Independent image layers
Place pictures exactly where you want them
Unlike a fixed photo grid, every added picture remains a free layer on top of the base image.
Move and resize each layer
Drag a picture anywhere on the canvas, resize it from the corners, or send it directly to a corner or the center.
Crop without changing the source
Choose the visible area of an overlay while keeping the original file available for another crop.
Control front-to-back order
Add multiple overlays and move each layer forward or backward when pictures overlap.
How to overlay images
Build a layered image in four steps
Start with the final canvas, add the pictures that belong on top, and export at the base image's resolution.
- 01
Upload a base image
Choose the image that should fill the finished canvas. Its original dimensions become the output size.
- 02
Add overlay images
Select one or several JPG, PNG, or WebP files. Each file becomes an independent layer.
- 03
Position, resize, and crop
Select a layer on the canvas or in the layer list, then refine its placement and visible area.
- 04
Download one image
Choose JPG or PNG and save a clean, flattened composition with no editor controls or watermark.
Private by design
Compose locally without uploading a project
The editor reads and combines selected files in your browser. Your images are not sent to a separate image-processing service.
Browser-only processing
Uploads are represented by temporary browser URLs and disappear when the page is closed.
Native-size output
The final Canvas is drawn at the base image's original pixel dimensions for predictable downloads.
Clear first-version limits
The current tool supports one base image, up to 20 overlay layers, and JPG or PNG export.
Image overlay FAQ
Common questions about placing a picture on another picture
Answers about image count, cropping, output size, privacy, formats, and watermarks.
Yes. You can add up to 20 overlay images, select them independently, and control their front-to-back order.
Yes. Select the overlay and open Crop. The crop is stored as an editable visible region instead of replacing your original local file.
The downloaded JPG or PNG uses the base image's original width and height. Overlay positions are scaled to those exact pixels.
No separate image-processing upload is used. The current editor reads, layers, and exports the selected files in your browser.
No. The exported JPG or PNG contains only the base image and the overlay layers you added.
